Hello Stage Door Dancers, Families, and Friends,
I can hardly believe it, but it's already May! It seems like just yesterday we were kicking off the dance season, and now we're gearing up for our highly anticipated recital on June 10 and 11; aka the #BESTSHOWEVER!!!
We are beyond excited for our upcoming recital at the Staller Center; Mission: Beyond Dance. It's truly the culmination of dedication for all of our talented dancers, and I know it's going to be an unforgettable weekend for everyone involved. Just a quick reminder that tickets will go on sale for the recital on May 7th, so mark your calendars and be sure to grab your seats before they sell out! And don't forget - this year, we'll be emailing out family ticket codes for your convenience, so keep an eye out for those in your inbox no later than May 6. Tickets codes will be provided to all families who's accounts are up to date
and paid in full as of May 6.These codes will allow your family to purchase up to 8 tickets per performance on May 7. Additional tickets can be purchased as of May 8.
Of note: We strongly encourage all families to create your ticket account profile in advance of May 7 for a more streamlined purchasing experience. Create your account >>> here.
Looking ahead to the big day, we also want to make sure you're prepared with all of the recital memorabilia your heart desires. From flowers to custom-made merchandise, we have everything you need to celebrate your child's incredible achievements. And best of all - all of our recital products can be picked up right at the theater, no extra stops required.
But the fun doesn't stop with the recital - we have a jam-packed summer ahead of us here at Stage Door, and we'd love for you to join in on the excitement. Our Summer 2023 dance classes are filling up quickly, so be sure to enroll your dancer now to secure their spot on the dance floor. And don't miss out on our exclusive Stage Door Creative Camp, a summer creative arts day camp for dancers ages 6 and up. They'll get to explore dance, acrobatics, arts & crafts, theater, and performance. Plus, we have our Fine Arts Club, a summer creative arts preschool enrichment program for club members ages 2-5.

Optimism leads dancers to overcome challenges, remain focused, and radiate confidence on stage. It's a way of life that has the power to elevate dance as an artform and also our shared communities. |
